Recenzii
Praise for We Other Nazis (2013):
Loewen doesn't draw attention to the extreme phenomenon of neo-Nazism. The author points to a more subtle fascism of our days. . . . Not so much different from the Nazi period, we live in a world which is fascinated with technology, power, speed and authority itself. The more philosophical idea beyond this claim is that the human being had always striven to overcome what already exists, to get beyond the life that is shown to be the one into which we have been thrown. . . . As Loewen suggests the most important thing we can do is to mature ourselves from the state of dependency and try to reassess our 'Nazi behavior' so that we avoid the coming of another world disaster.
Praise for Hermeneutic Pedagogy (2012):
The philosophical idea that drives him in this undertaking is that bringing into consciousness the structures and conditions that determined our own experience. What is gained through this process is what we call self-knowledge. . . . Through phronesis the hermeneutical circle of experiential pedagogy, as Loewen calls it, closes and accomplishes itself. It enlightens the other two constitutive dimensions, hexis and praxis, it puts them into question and reveals the abilities they do not capture, but which are central to the human being as a learning being. Phronesis names the radical learning experience that one individual has, experience which cannot be taught. Because it puts all that one can teach or study in another light, it is a hermeneutical experience par excellence.
